sometimes writing about bluesky discourse means you're just too deep in the echo chamber but other times bluesky discourse uncovers the unsettling reality that there are minecraft jokes coded into an official government website techcrunch.com/2026/09/29/a...
techcrunch.com
America.gov gets really weird when you ask it about Minecraft, but it's not a glitch | TechCrunch
For the sake of national security, it's a relief to learn that America.gov is not hallucinating to the point that it's penning lengthy poetry.

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

This is sort of the question of how could products use LLMs/agents/knowledge bases to bind people back together better. Or how might recommenders and tools connect folks in experiences, rather than just siloing them off

Ted Han★ 韓聖安 @knowtheory.net · 28/09/2026
The isolation is a _really_ critical factor to me. To the extent that there are communities of practice and those communities are critical for binding together expertise and feedback for trying new things, i worry about a sort of practical disintermediation of expertise.

Oh i have plenty of personal reasons to hate on the NYT. And if you want that to be the overriding thing for you in the conversation, go for it. I'm interested in the other parts of the conversation.

Ted Han★ 韓聖安 @knowtheory.net · 28/09/2026
But the element here is still over what things are people engaging. Hikikomorphism is talking about the power imbalance w/r/t account size. Tressie's been talking about people not listening to the things she's saying. And so the contexts continues their collapse.
030
Ted Han★ 韓聖安 @knowtheory.net · 28/09/2026
I mean, they're both doing parallel and interleaving threads, seems like there's plenty of room to reply? I'll also note that Tressie has replies on for people who follow her. Like this is a platform affordance, and everyone always attributes malice to it.

Ted Han★ 韓聖安 @knowtheory.net · 28/09/2026
Yeah. My framing for this has been that chat agents as currently productized are fundamentally anti-social. It may produce words vaguely like a human, but there's no way to be in community with it and others, and it has no interiority, or external experience of the world.

I hadn't thought of it the way but yeah this kid is 2/3rds the way to inventing a charcuterie board for himself. He was just straight up eating parmesan shavings last night, so maybe he was just catching the rest of the board up this morning.

You've heard of grape nuts for breakfast, but have you tried grape noodles? Pepperoni to taste.

Yeah the thing I'm most interested in is chaining conversations based on some fact about the world or interaction. It's fascinating to watch improvisors do actualplay and the way DMs constrain the possible outcomes on the fly.
